Necessity is the mother of invention!!!

Necessity is the mother of invention, and its true guys!!!

First of all I would like to introduce you to the famous breakfast recipe of "gods own country". Yes, most of you have guessed it right, and of course some might have got their mouth watered at the mere thought of it. For those visitors who are not familiar with this delicious thing please go through this link
Priya's Kitchen: Puttu or simply skip this post :).


Hope you've got an idea...


This was the puttu maker in our home, as we lost the perforated plate (chillu-which is an essential part that separates the dough from falling down) this poor thing was lying somewhere unnoticed for sometime. But one day we had a great urge to have puttu.


Man here comes the most used utensil in our room :) the 10 liter pressure cooker. From now on I'll say it in steps

• Filled 1/4 of the cooker with water and heated.
• We took one half of the coconut shell with the hole, filled it with some grated coconut first and then with the dough, closed it with the other half of the shell. 
• Carefully fixed the dough filled coconut shell to the cooker where we place the weight. Bingo!
• Waited sometime for the steam to come out in full swing. done!

The chirattaputtu is ready....



This was the final result. Our master chef was ready with mutton stew parallely. Even though it was late, some 12:30 or something @ night, we had a nice time and had a heavy dinner(we can have puttu as dinner also :) there's no harm in it even though it gets listed first in the breakfast list)

ps:I don't know whether we can patent this technology :(.
